(with Pierre Norman)
VERSE
I'm just a little " Jackie Horner "
Since I met my sugar cane.
That gang of mine has been revealin'
That they're feelin' sore.
I left the lamplight on the corner,
For the moon in lover's lane;
I'm doing things I never did before.
REFRAIN
When I take my sugar to tea,
All the boys are jealous of me,
'Cause I never take her where the gang goes,
When I take my sugar to tea.
I'm rowdy-dowdy, that's me,
She's a high-hat baby, that's she.
So I never take her where the gang goes,
When I take my sugar to tea.
Ev'ry Sunday afternoon
We forget about our cares,
Rubbing elbows at the Ritz
With those millionaires.
When I take my sugar to tea,
I'm as Ritzy as I can be,
'Cause I never take her where the gang goes,
When I take my sugar to tea.
